Massabesic Middle School Art Room

There are many additions on the 7th and 8th grade art web page.

You can view some great little animations from the 7th grade and the 8th grade clay project. They created a tea pot and tea cup. We finished the project with a Fun Tea Party. Enjoy the 1st quarter webpage. It will eventually change with the 2nd quarter art projects.

A new school year is about to start. There will be a few changes on the pages I will be working on . I will make pages for the Visual Arts and Performing Arts( Music Concerts, Drama and Talent Show. I will also maintain the “Sports MVPs” for the High School students.

I also consider your purchase as a thank you for the countless hours I spent working on the web pages for your enjoyment.

7th Grade Students

Keep looking for new additions to the 4th quarter Art page. You can view the 7th grade “Checkerboard Designs” and the 8th Grade Hand, Ribbon and Texture Designs.

The 3rd quarter Art page is all up to date. Be sure to lokk at all the great art created this past quarter, As the 4th quarter progress, their work will replace the 3rd  quarter students.

Our 1st quarter students just finished creating their own computer generated animations. The MLTI program, unique to the the State of Maine, helps to make this project a reality. Every student is issued the use of a laptop for their two years at the Middle School.  This project helps students to explore additional uses of their computer beyond word processing and web surfing. This was a very exciting project, the results of which you can see by checking out the MMS animation page.
       We started this project with a lesson on cartooning.  Afterwards, each student brainstormed ideas for their own animation.  Students then drew, painted, outlined and cut their cartoon characters and backgrounds out of paper.  Utilizing a digital camera and the Apple iMovie software, students began constructing their animations, frame-by-frame. After the animation was complete, students added a soundtrack (often mixing voice and music).  Once the animation was finished, it was rendered as a QuickTime movie.  Each movie has been uploaded to the school server and is available for viewing here.
      If you have any questions on how this was done, feel free to email me at Lucille_Hussey@fc.sad57.k12.me.us 

A new school year is underway. Massabesic Middle School Art Students have been busy in the last 3 weeks. Visit the 7th and 8th grade gallery to see all the new Art Show online.

Congratulations to all the Talent Show participants for a great performance and a special “Thank You” to tall the staff members who worked on this for our enjoyment.
